Creating a JSON Array in PHP

Question

I need to create this JSON array in PHP. If I echo this:

{"SUCCESS":[{"message":"Your Accout Info","AccoutInfo":{"credit":"$56.98USD","mail":"[email protected]","currency":"USD"}}],"apiversion":"2.3.1"}

The echo code above works as I want.

The code below building a array doesn't work:

    header('Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8');
    $data[SUCCESS] = array(
        'credit'   => '$56.98USD',
        'mail' => '[email protected]',
        'message' => 'Your Accout Info',
        'currency' => 'USD',
        'apiversion' => '2.3.1'  
    );

    echo json_encode($data);

What am I missing here? Thanks

UPDATE:

I have updated my code to this:

    $data = array('SUCCESS' => array(
        'message'   => 'Your Accout Info',
        'AccoutInfo' => array(
        'credit' => '$56.98USD',
        'mail' => '[email protected]',
        'currency' => 'USD'),
        'apiversion' => '2.3.1')
   );

And now I get this result:

{"SUCCESS":{"message":"Your Accout Info","AccoutInfo":{"credit":"$56.98USD","mail":"[email protected]","currency":"USD"},"apiversion":"2.3.1"}}

But I need this result:

{"SUCCESS":[{"message":"Your Accout Info","AccoutInfo":{"credit":"$56.98USD","mail":"[email protected]","currency":"USD"}}],"apiversion":"2.3.1"}

Any advice to solve this?

Firstly create $data, it can be an object or an array and use SUCCESS as a string 'SUCCESS' rather than an undefined constant.

header('Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8');
$data = array('SUCCESS' => array(
        array(
            'AccoutInfo' => array(
                'credit'   => '$56.98USD',
                'mail' => '[email protected]',
                'currency' => 'USD'
            ),
            'message' => 'Your Accout Info',
        )
    ),
    'apiversion' => '2.3.1'  
);

echo json_encode($data);

also the json you hard code and the structure you try to build is very different

Finally I got it working :-)

<?php
    header('Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8');
    $data = Array
    (
        'SUCCESS' => Array
            (
                '0' => Array
                    (
                        'message' => 'Your Accout Info',
                        'AccoutInfo' => Array
                            (
                                'credit' => '$56.98USD',
                                'mail' => '[email protected]',
                                'currency' => 'USD'
                            )
                    )
            ),
        'apiversion' => '2.3.1'
        );

    echo json_encode($data);
?>

Thanks to @Musa who pointed me in right direction.
